Fearsome Five
The Fearsome Five is a group of supervillains from DC Comics who serve as enemies of the Teen Titans. Publication history They were created by George Pérez and Marv Wolfman, and first appeared in '' The New Teen Titans'' #3 (January 1981), going on to become recurring adversaries for that superhero group. Though deadly, they lack sophistication as criminal planners, a cohesive focus or loyalty, and are prone to in-fighting, backstabbing, and disbandment. Fictional team history The Fearsome Five were founded by the criminal Doctor Light, through an ad he placed in the ''Underworld Star'', a criminal underground newsletter. Light formed the group to attack the Teen Titans, but Psimon, who was under the influence of the demon from whom he had received his superhuman abilities called Trigon, usurped Light’s role as leader, and the two would continue to struggle for some time over it. After Psimon's having been banished by Trigon to another dimension for his failure to destroy ...
